Snow clearance
Whilst we can spread salt to prevent ice from forming before it
is forecast, we cannot deal with snow until it has fallen. This may
sound obvious, but it is the major difference in the way these two
problems can be addressed.
Snowfall is often unpredictable and fairly localised. For this
reason, Cumbria County Council monitor the weather very closely
when it is forecast, to enable them to get the right equipment in
the right place to deal with it.
